Facebook groups can be useful for businesses, providing a private or public online forum to communicate with employees, clients or colleagues. As a group creator or administrator, you have several group management abilities. For instance, you can delete the group by removing every member and then removing yourself. While this can be a time consuming process depending on the group's member count, it is the only way to permanently remove a group from Facebook.

Log in to Facebook and visit your group's page.

Click "About" to view a group members list.

Click the gear-shaped icon next to a member's name and click "Remove From Group." A prompt opens.

Click "Confirm." Continue removing all group members until you are the last person left.

Click the gear-shaped icon next to your name and click "Remove From Group." A prompt appears asking you if you want to delete the group.

Click "Delete Group."

Tip

Only the first admin or creator of a group can delete the group. If the creator left, then the next admin in line can delete the group.
